Passo di Fedaia - Sass del Mul

Access to the starting point:
First, drive to Cortina d'Ampezzo (you can get here via Border crossing Rateče or Predel to Trbiž / Tarvisio and then take the motorway towards Udine to the Tolmezzo exit. From Tolmezzo, follow the road towards Ampezzo and the Passo della Mauria mountain pass. The road then descends and leads to a crossroads where you turn left (possibly right) towards Cortina d'Ampezzo. At all subsequent junctions, follow the signs for Cortina d'Ampezzo and then follow the signs for the Passo di Falzarego Alpine Pass. In the first part of the ascent towards the Falzarego Pass, you will reach a crossroads where the signs for Passo di Giau (2233 m) and Marmolado point to the left. After the Giau Pass, the road starts to descend and we follow it through the settlements in the lower part towards Marmolada or Passo di Fedaia. The road then starts to climb again and leads us higher up to the Fedaia Pass, where we park in the parking lot of the Rifugio Fedaia hut.

Access from Primorska: Take the motorway towards Padua, but only as far as the motorway junction, where you continue towards Veneto and Belluno. Near Belluno, the motorway ends and we follow the road towards Belluno, where we turn right at a major junction towards Agordo. From there, follow the frequent signs for Marmolada or Passo di Fedaia. When you reach the pass, park in the parking lot of the Rifugio Fedaia hut.

Path description:
From the parking lot on the pass, continue left and initially descend slightly down the grassy slope. Soon you will see a path on the right below the wall, which leads through dwarf pines. Take this path and start to climb transversely in a south-easterly direction. The path then turns to the right and climbs up a grassy slope towards the wall, where the Via ferrata Eterna climbing route starts. Shortly before the wall, the path leads to a crossroads where it continues to the right after the Sass del Mul markers (Via ferrata Eterna climbing route on the left).
From the crossroads the path ascends gently on a wide path, which is rather poorly trodden. The markings lead us along a mostly grassy slope towards the summit of Sass del Mul, where we can see a number of tunnels from the First World War. The path then starts to climb up a slightly steeper slope to the left of a rocky headland. As the path is relatively poorly trodden, some caution is needed on this part, especially in wet conditions. The path later becomes less steep again and leads us along grassy terrain to a small saddle below the summit. At the saddle, which opens up a view of Lake Fedaia, continue to the right and there is only a short climb to the summit.
